HYMN 23. P. M.
1 This earth was once a garden place,
With all her glories common;
And men did live a holy race,
And worship Jesus face to face,
In Adam-ondi-Ahman.
2 We read that Enoch walk'd with God,
Above the pow'r of Mammon:
While Zion spread herself abroad,
And saints and angels sung aloud
In Adam-ondi-Ahman.
3 Her land was good and greatly blest,
Beyond old Israel's Canaan:
Her fame was known from east to west;
Her peace was great, and pure the rest
Of Adam-ondi-Ahman.
4 Hosanna to such days to come—
The Savior's second comin'—
When all the earth in glorious bloom,
Affords the saints a holy home
Like Adam-ondi-Ahman.
